Choosing a Gun

[Super Nova]

The problem is the nutters.

How will you get the nutters to hand in their automatic weapons. I had friends who went out in the bush and buried their guns, fully oiled and wrapped in waterpoof covers when the rules changes in Australia. They are still there waiting for the day they think they need them.

The nutters in the US will just do the same.

However doing what worked in Australia, offer a buyback scheme and you will most of them then you need to focus on the nutters. Over time, maybe a gerneration or two the will reach australia's level and have few automatic weapons out in the community.

A nutter focus is required starting with 99% of the normal population.

Speaking of violent video games impacting on American society, some of you might be aware that as of January 1 next year, our government has passed legislation to allow the sale of R18+ games.

More sex, more violence, more adult themes in our kids video games.

Some parents cant be trusted to make the right age-appropriate choices for their kids, this or are getting excited at the prospect of playing these games themselves.

There are millions of game players around the world and one nutter goes wild so now we should blame video games?

These terrible acts are committed by people who would ultimately harm others regardless of what form of entertainment they chose to indulge in

We were considered a peaceful country back then.

A lot of parents are either too busy, too tired or couldn't be bothered supervising their older children. A good video game can shut them up for hours.

These games will come in handy as early adolescent training to help the US military bases currently expanding here. War with China appears to be on the horizon so there will be plenty of violent youth ripe for the pickings when it comes time for recruitment.

You really are ignorant sometimes. Perhaps you haven't heard that the numbers of US marines have been increasing here for quite a while - not only for shared military exercises in Qld, but as a military presence also in the NT. The bases are Australian in name, but US troops are already established in existing bases.

The Australian Army says the first group of about 250 US Marines that are part of an increased American military presence in South-East Asia will arrive in Darwin in April 2012.

US president Barack Obama announced late last year in Darwin that America will increase the number of troops, aircraft and ships that will come to the Northern Territory.

The build-up will see about to 2,500 Marines training in the Territory by 2016-17.

You don't think the Yanks are considering war with China, but with our help? This article is from last year, but there are dozens available as you should know.

'This is all about the rise of China, the modernisation of the People's Liberation Army and, particularly, it's about the increased vulnerability of US forces in Japan and Guam to the new generation of Chinese missiles,'' said Alan Dupont, the Michael Hintze professor of international security at Sydney University.

''The new Chinese missiles could threaten them in a way they've never been able to before, so the US is starting to reposition them to make them less vulnerable. Australia's 'tyranny of distance' is now a distinct strategic advantage.''

Professor Dupont, a former Australian Defence official and intelligence analyst, said the ''Australian strategic rationale is that we are also hedging against increasing Chinese military power and their capacity to destabilise maritime trade routes. And we want to get closer to the US.

''There's no doubt at all the Chinese will have serious reservations about this''

Mr Obama and Ms Gillard are not expected to argue that China is a factor in the decision. ''This is a strong gesture that even in the face of budget constraints, the US reaction to the winding down of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan deployment is not to go home but to pivot'' into the Asia-Pacific, according to the former deputy secretary of state in the Obama administration, Jim Steinberg.
